Sisupalgarh, Archaeological site near Bhubaneswar, India
The fortified settlement spans 320 acres with thick walls rising 9 meters high and features sixteen solid laterite pillars measuring 5 meters in height.
The site flourished between the 3rd century BC and 4th century AD, serving as the capital of ancient Kalinga and identified as Tosali of Ashoka.
The settlement reflects religious changes in the region as architectural elements and artifacts show transitions between Buddhism, Jainism, and Saivism practices.
Visitors can explore the northern gateway of the western wall and examine the Shola Khamba structure, which researchers identify as part of a royal palace.
Archaeological surveys indicate the city supported 25,000 inhabitants, making it larger than ancient Athens during its period of occupation.
